PUMP-SPOUT.

ILPECIPICATION forming partof Letters Patent No. 300,573, dated June 17,1884.

Application filed March 4, 1854.

(N0 model.)

exact description of the invention which will enable others skilled inthe art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference markedthereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in pump-spouts; and it consistsof a detachable strainer secured to a band on the end of the spout.

The mechanism is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in whichFigure I is a1ongitudinal section of the pump-spout. Fig. II is an endview of the same. Fig. III is the retaining-ring.

Similar letters refer to similar parts through out the several views.

A is an ordinary form of wooden pumpspout, having a hole bored throughthe same for the passage of the water, and the left end is turnedtapering, that it maybe driven snugly into the stock. The cast-iron bandB is driven on the right end. This band has an inner flange with notcheson opposite sides (see Fig. II) for the purpose of receiving the lugs ofthe thimble G. The end of the thimble is open,

having an inwai'dlyprojecting rim, to which is attached wire-gauze toserve as a strainer. The wire-gauze E is cut circular, larger than theinterior of the thimble. The wire ring D is placed on the same, and isthen driven to the rim of the thimble, where it is securely held.

The wire-gauze may be soldered to the rim of 40 the thimble, and thering thereby dispensed with.

The operation is thus: Thelugs of the strainer-thimble enter the notchesof the band, turning the thimble. The same is held within the rim of theband. The strainer prevents foreign substances flowing out with thewater discharged by the pump, and to discharge such substances thestrainer is removed.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent,

'1. The band B, with notched interior rim, straincr-thimble G, with lugsfor engaging the same, in combination with a pump-spout, sub- Astantially as set forth.

2. In a strainer-thinible for a pump-spout, the combination of ring D,wire-gauze E, and thimble O, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signaturein presence of two witnesses.
